Ive seen several different episodes of them with their friends who are unrelated, plus the obvious of the Bates. I also cant stand how people think that just because homeschooled kids don't have the same 'great' experiences as public schooled kids that means they don't have their own great memories. Can you seriously look at their trips and say, 'oh, but they didn't get a prom and so theyre deprived'? I had a prom and I hated it. Sad people can be so narrow-minded that they think only public school can give you a good life.

Prom, picking out a gown withmom and friends taking photos, the excitement of who you are going with. <br />2. actually having friends you aren't related to.<br />3. Going to cheer on your football team on Friday nights. <br />4. Being in a marching band at school<br />5. Being in a yearbook with friends and signing etc.<br />6.picking out classes to plan for college<br />7. Visit college campuses and think about a career you would like to pursue<br />8.no sports for girls because uniforms are immodest. None for boys because idk<br />10. No cap and gown<br />11 no senior year<br /><br />Honestly no one hear thinks having NO friends is normal?

I don't think there is anything wrong with girls wearing skirts, they look very attractive and if they don't care to conform then as the saying goes, "my hat is off to them." It continues to surprise me that it is even an issue. I remember when a big fuss was made years ago about women wearing pants and now it seems to be a problem if they wear skirts.

I've watched most of the shows about you guys and have really learned a lot from you. I've tried your financial advice and it's really made life easier...and more enjoyable. I have to admit though that when I first heard how you guys do with money, I thought it was far-fetched and would never work; however, my ex-sister-in-law asked me to try the way you guys do with the money for six months and see how it works. It took some self-discipline to get started with it and stick to it at first. Now, I don't feel as though I'm missing out on anything by blowing money on things that costs more just because of the label. The Tater-tot casserole, tried it and I'm hooked on it. So, thanks for making life easier and more enjoyable for my family and I...and you didn't know how much of an impact you have on people watching the shows about you. You guys are awesome!

I went to public school and it did nothing to prepare me for life. That is done in the home. As parents we do not leave all choices to our kids and let them decide how their lives should be lived. Even parents who send their kids to public school keep a reign on their kids.

The clothes do not make you right with God. The clothes represent an attitude of the heart. They feel a conviction to dress a certain way. Josh feels a bit different. The Duggar boys wear shorts to swim in. Josh's shorts are still not above the knee. The Duggars feel that showing above the knee is not right for them. Josh is still keeping with that same conviction.<br />Christianity is not a list of dos and donts, it is a relationship with God. After a person turns their life over to God then they change on the outside. <br />Anyone who makes it all about dos and donts are being legalistic and adding to what the Bible says.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-64098958604490117962013-10-10T06:33:01.320-05:002013-10-10T06:33:01.320-05:00Someone has kindly uploaded this episode on YouTub...Someone has kindly uploaded this episode on YouTube already! <br />Here is the link to the first part: <br />http://youtu.be/ITs7yOgxiRgSarah C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16600009434792001626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-88341422363261168272013-10-09T23:28:41.446-05:002013-10-09T23:28:41.446-05:00michelle is very controling of her children . glad...michelle is very controling of her children . glad josh and anna moved away and anna can maybe relax and where pants. since josh is wearing shorts YOU CAN STILL BE A GOOD CHRISTIAN and where regular clothes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-40490976065577075902013-10-09T22:48:46.386-05:002013-10-09T22:48:46.386-05:00There is a time to be cautious with your money and...There is a time to be cautious with your money and then there is a line drawn when you start taking advantage of those that are less fortunate or less off then you. Jim Bob is more then well off, so really needs to quite trying to take advantage of people by paying less than what is asked. It is on most every show, I can't imagine how much he does it on a daily basis. How embarrassed I would be as his wife knowing he is trying to make money off of other people by paying as little as he can. Just pay your fair way buddy and get over it!!! I couldn't believe how much hording he has done by seeing their storage warehouse. MY GOODNESS!!! reminds me of the bible story of the man who had soo much grain he decided to build himself bigger barns to store all his grain for himself. Not a pretty story!!

Loved that sweet Jana and Joy-Anna went to DC to help with the children. The genuine joyful smiles they all had at their reunion in DC was delightful to see. It's also fun to see Josh and Anna establishing themselves as a separate family unit, Anna really seems to be coming into her own and Josh looks like he is bearing up under the added weight of his new responsibilities. I think he is a young many who has a tremendous amount of potential and this looks like a terrific opportunity for him to stretch and grow in new directions. Someone commented on Anna's dress, it was very attractive, perfect for a special evening out together. So many great moments in this episode and I loved the gift Josh gave Anna. What an advantage Josh has as a father over so may other men, he really can handle young children with patience and humor (but he clearly has an awful lot of respect for his wife and her management and care of the children.) His photos were adorable and captured his children's personalities. Jim Bob and Michelle looked like they were really enjoying their time together and I thought the art garden was romantic, the glass blowing interesting, the Duggar-style dinner party was sweet, and the balloon ride was great, especially appreciated the way JB drew analogies between the various activities he planned and the connections to their life together. He seems to have put a good deal of thought into their anniversary celebration. Also fun to see photos from their early years - they were a couple of cuties to be sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-38895507765145041912013-10-09T17:49:45.819-05:002013-10-09T17:49:45.819-05:00You guys are just too cute!!
